    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a method of repairing an aircraft (210). The method comprises charging a thermal transfer blanket comprising a thermal energy storage media (104) with thermal energy from a heat source (101. The method further comprises positioning a thermally curable patch (200) on an exterior surface of an aircraft. The thermally curable patch comprises an uncured polymer having a first temperature. The thermal transfer blanket (100) is applied to the thermally curable patch. Thermal energy is transferred between the thermal transfer blanket and the thermally curable patch to increase the first temperature of the uncured polymer to a cure temperature for a sufficient amount of time to cure the polymer.

    摘要: The invention refers to a panel structure (1) for an aircraft comprising at least one composite layer (3, 4) and at least one carbon nanotube (CNT) paper (2) laid over the at least one composite layer (3, 4), wherein the CNT paper (2) comprises an aggregation of carbon nanotubes suitable to be heated up to the curing temperature of the panel structure (1). The CNT paper (2) can be attached between two composite layers (3, 4). Alternatively, the CNT paper (2) can be attached to a surface of one composite layer (3, 4) to form the outermost layer of the structure (1) to cure the composite layers (3,4). In this last case, the CNT paper (2) may be covered by an Alkaline Earth Silicate layer (5). The invention provides a heatable panel structure (1). In addition, the panel structure (1) configuration allows the inspection of effects of accidental damages.
